Boring

Yes, but stoicism also preaches wisdom and being a good citizen.

It is natural for humans to form political systems and it would conform to nature to participate. It would be completely in line with the philosophy to protest, have an opinion against exploitations, vote someone they politically align with into power, and even revolution.

However, focusing on the depressing aspects of tyrants stains the mind and will lead to a loss of self discipline and will only allow the tyrants more power over your mind as they can keep you in a reactive state.

Unless there's a super hacker or NSA agent in the class that can figure out your password in real time.. You should be fine doing that.

Surley there is a switch out there that can detect voltage used by the device and only deliver that amount.

GraphineOS sandboxes google services. You can take it a step further and only install sandboxed google services on a work profile or user profile so you can have toggle-able google services, allowing bank access and whatnot.

Fair point. But GPS signal from a submarine is almost impossible considering GPS needs LOS.

LTE has a range about 10miles and 5G is also LOS. So its brings it down to unlikely that an Apple watch could connect to cellular.

Considering this is underwater and radio waves attenuate very quickly in the water, this is very unlikely to produce any valuable tracking as a majority of the packets would get dropped if any make it to the cellular tower at all.

Only real way someone could track this submarine via cellular would be if they used a cell site simulator and downgraded the signal to 2g, which would be possible with Chinese cellular providers.. But this would require already knowing where the submarine is and/or having stingrays all over the ocean.

They send BT signal to any apple device and the device uses their GPS/data to forward the location to the find my network.

I use all of them, at once, with searx.

Brother.. apple couldn't find my airtag when it was dropped somewhere in my yard.. How would apple find a submarine 5 miles below sea level in a faradayed submarine?

Tails isn't really designed for daily driving. I'd go for a user friendly distro like Ubuntu if you an on switching from windows.

It is possible to make windows a little more private if you didn't want to switch. Here's a pretty good guide in modifying the the iso before installing: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/create-custom-windows-11-install-disk

Modifying window does help users gain more control and privacy, but windows is proprietary so a person can only do so much. Be careful on what you remove if you GI this route, windows relies on weird apps to function.

Another note, I wouldn't be afraid of torrenting. The inky person that would care that your getting free movies and such is your ISP, and you can just flip on a VPN to clear their radar.

Since its for school you'll want it to be reliable and to work 100% of the time. I'd just get a big brand and not connect it to the internet if you don't want your data collected.

Other than that you can try to block the telemetry at the DNS level by VPN to your home with a pihole instance or using a private DNS.

If you really don't wanna use apple or google OS, then best bet is to buy the tablet for the hardware and try to flash a different OS. But then you'll risk it not working very well or having app compatibility issues.

Maybe find good audio quality on YouTube and download via newpipe?

I also use vimusic on fdroid for as a YT-Music frontend with premium features, but haven't figures out his to download in the app yet

Without a prior email or some sort of identification? I don't think so.

If you wan anonymous email, use a tor email. If you want a private email, don't use email.
